This is correctly written.

She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to her native Germany,Photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small Group of discerning admirers, and her P h o t o graphs Were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries Across the United States.

(A) She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to

(B) Being less successful after she had emigrated to New York as compared to

(C) Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in

(D) Although she was less successful alter emigrating to New York when compared to

(E) She had been less successful after emigrating to New York than in

the modifying clause should compare her success in New York to her success in Germany. IMO C does that.

I chose C correct but I was confused with A as well can any one explain the flaw in A

[loveusonu]

The underlined part should be a adjective clause to modify "the photographer lotto" or else this will turn into a RUN ON sentence. Hence A&E are out..

Though there are gramatical errors too, but quickly you can ZeroIn to C by checking the meaning and sentence intend to say she was less successful in newyork than in germany..HENCE B & D OUT

(B) Being less successful after she had emigrated to New York as compared to

(C) Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in

(D) Although she was less successful alter emigrating to New York when compared to

c is correct

This sentence compares the success Jacobi
experienced after moving to New York to the
success she had previously experienced in
Germany. The phrase less successful anticipates the
conclusion of the comparison with the phrase
than The main subject of t he sentence is
photographer Lotte Jacobi and the main verb is
earned.The opening clause She was less successful...
therefore creates a comma splice if the comma is
not followed by a conjunction. The most efficient
way to incorporate the information about Jacobi's
comparative successes in Germany and in New
York is to turn this clause into an adjectival phrase
describing Jacobi.

A Less successful... anticipates than rather than
compared to...; a comma is insufficient to
join two independent clauses into a single
sentence.
